Gfted1 Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Why is everyone going apesh*t? Because this will be made by Obsidian instead of Bethesda? We know nothing other than its going to be made but its already the shiznit? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Moatilliatta Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I suspect that some of you guys have chronic depression. Reading this piece of news lightened up a day otherwise ruined by bad sleep for me. I hope Obsidian will do well.
Humodour Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Why is everyone going apesh*t? Because this will be made by Obsidian instead of Bethesda? We know nothing other than its going to be made but its already the shiznit? Correct. And why not? Fallout + Black Obsidian = Epic (not Megagames). Get it? Got it? Good.

We know nothing other than its going to be made but its already the shiznit? How quickly they forget! I remember Van Buren, and how amazed I was by the design docs, and how crushed I was that I'd never see it. There was an ambition in that game that I have never encountered elsewhere. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I would have paid a lot of money to see the Obsidz boys back behind the scenes of another Fallout game. With all luck, we'll see some of that again. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Ok, just making sure I was on the right page. With everyone slathering up the joint I couldnt help but feel like I was missing some between-the-lines information instead of just a vague notification of a game being made in the future. Personally, I was more extited about the possibilitu of a new IP and not a different spin on the same stuff released less then a year ago and still receiving DLC. Im sure it will be "much different" and exactly what FO3 was "supposed to be". "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

spacekungfuman Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) I really hope that this turns out like KOTOR, only without the publisher censoring and rushing. Sure Fallout 3's engine and combat are horrible, but so was KOTOR's and look at the gem they produced then. As much as I HATED combat in FO3, and would love to see turn based (or at least stat based) combat in this game, I reccomend Obsidian sticks with the **** combat and engine, and just focuses on story. The company needs to turn out a game where the story and characterization is not hampered by bugs and poor engine optimization. Of all of FO3's faults, the writing was the worst, and it is the one that Obsidian can fix with the least effort, and the least chance of breaking anything. I mean, you guys could probably write a better story in your sleep than the horror that was FO3. Edited April 20, 2009 by Gorth Hey, no cheating the word filter...
Humodour Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Please, please, please, please include melee and unarmed combat that doesn't completely suck. Please. I second this emotion.
Humodour Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Great! But I hope it isn't New Reno - remake... I hope it is because I want to visit the secret army base and pick up Skynet again. Please.
mkreku Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I don't think anyone thought Fallout 3 was perfect. This is why I want an official Fallout: New Vegas forum to open up soon, so we can start naming the things WE would want Obsidian to take a closer look at. I mean, I agree with all these complaints about melee combat, stilted animations, too stare-y talking heads, too crowded wasteland, too few dialogue options, not enough choice & consequence from quests and so on and so forth. The good thing is that none of those flaws are impossible to change (except perhaps melee combat, not sure how much control Obsidian will have over that)! I still think Beth tech + Obs writing is a perfect match. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Syraxis Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 I wonder what Feargus has to say about all this, I want to know dammit.
Nightshape Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Whoa. Uh. Cool. I think? Would prefer Onyx engine with a proper ruleset, but I may have to re-evaluate my opinion of Bethesda. An engine change would also mean we'd have to wait 18-24 month more. No thanks, using the Fallout 3 engine has been a smart (and the obvious) decision. You might want to rethink that post. Onyx is already built. Granted, the art assets from FO3 may cut about 6 months off development time (not to mention costs). Oh I'd say it's likely to be 12-18 months... Depends what engine they use, I hope they go with Onyx. Edited April 20, 2009 by Nightshape I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!
RangerSG Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Wow. I'm amazed. I really thought this would be a bit of good news for Obsidian. But it seems that some people here can complain about anything, even getting the chance to have a crack at their old franchise again. I personally was pleased to hear this. As far as what the Oblivion-engine was capable of, I really wish people would check what the mod community did before they ASSUME that the generic faces were all the engine was. Taking 5 mins will show that simply wasn't true. Rather, it's part of BethSoft's assumption that players want "realistic" (ugly) looking faces in games. The mod community has accounted for that error before. As far as the combat system goes, I'd really rather they focus on story/setting and getting the most out of what they can in the current time rather than tweaking architecture. Regardless, I'm happy for Obsidian, and look forward to seeing this released.

If you're on this forum you probably think about your games a lot, and people who think a lot tend to be critical, even about things that they love. It's just in their nature. We'll all be buying the game. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
TwinkieGorilla Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Depends what engine they use, I hope they go with Onyx. i believe it's been confirmed they're using the same engine as FO3. hopw roewur ne?
